Drinking Buddies

Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They're perfect for each other, except that they're both in relationships. Luke is in the midst of marriage talks with his girlfriend of six years, and Kate is playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend Chris. But you know what makes the line between "friends" and "more than friends" really blurry? Beer.

"[Swanberg] points the movie in directions that defy our expectations, exploring the characters' immaturity and the entropy of human interaction." - Ty Burr, Boston Globe

"I'm no beer aficionado, but I found DRINKING BUDDIES to be like a cold, clear drink of artisanal beer -- savory with rich, emphasized notes while also sparkling with subtlety." - Amy LaCount, Bust Magazine
